Buying decision

The differences that matter

  1. The Kaabo has a 53 km planning estimate versus 45 km for the VSETT.
  2. Kaabo uses 10 x 3 inch tyres; VSETT uses smaller 8.5 x 3 inch tyres.
  3. Both weigh 30 kg and publish a 120 kg rider limit.
  4. Both use dual motors and hydraulic or semi-hydraulic disc braking.
  5. The Kaabo's 60 km/h capability makes the intended riding environment especially important.
Australian rules

Legality is state dependent

VSETT 9 APEX: Device eligibility depends on the exact Australian configuration, required measurements and your state. Rider age, equipment and route rules are separate; a speed mode alone is not approval.

Kaabo Mantis 10 Plus V2: Device eligibility depends on the exact Australian configuration, required measurements and your state. Rider age, equipment and route rules are separate; a speed mode alone is not approval.

Speed capability is only one part of the rule. Rider age, licence requirements, where you ride and local speed limits also matter. Check the current state-by-state guide before riding.
